About the Role

• Responding to breakdowns and providing on-site support when required.
• Keeping accurate records by completing maintenance checklists, service reports, and job documentation.
• Working safely at all times, following WHS requirements and contributing to our strong safety-first culture.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• Trade qualification as a Diesel Mechanic (essential).
• Current HR licence (essential).
• Previous experience working with heavy vehicles, hydraulics, and/or excavation equipment (preferred).
• Strong diagnostic and problem-solving skills.
• A safety-first mindset with attention to detail.
